Read Sauron vs Finrod in Eregion
That summer, the Mírdain decided to perform the Lay of Leithian. They gave Sauron’s role to Celebrimbor. He insisted on Annatar acting the role of Finrod because he looked the part – and was the best singer. At dress rehearsal, Celebrimbor wore a black cape with fur collar and an iron crown he had made for the play. He looked down at Annatar standing before his throne. Their eyes met. A pleasant shiver filled his body.
It occurred to Celebrimbor to improvise.
“I would prefer a battle of wits, but you appear unarmed.”
Annatar collapsed before the throne, howling with laughter.
